extends AttributeType<V>

Definition of a dynamic attribute in a moving feature type. Dynamic attributes describe attributes of a feature in which the values vary with time and/or location. A Feature having dynamic attributes is a moving feature. A moving feature can have an arbitrary number of time-varying attributes, such as the velocity of vehicles or the wind speed of hurricanes.
